Nine-year-old Asha Jaquilla Degree disappeared from her home in Shelby, North Carolina in the early morning hours of February 14, 2000. Her case remains one of the most haunting and perplexing child disappearances in the U.S., drawing national attention and continuing investigative activity more than 25 years later.
Asha is remembered locally as “Shelby’s Sweetheart.” A billboard marks the spot where she was last seen entering the woods, and her family holds an annual walk to keep her memory alive and maintain awareness.
